At fuel check there they pull us off in the grass on each side. I have never seen three wide there, when I'm down there. Never seen it blocked. I don't know who you run behind. Super Stock usually has to run behind Super Comp & Top Dragster.
Just re-read that. Super Gas runs after Stock & Super Street

Rick is correct, let's embrace that they are adding a National Championship for TD & TS and are giving these guys a chance to run for something. Yes they may take awhile to be towed back to their pits but, they are racers just like all of us. Are we all in a rush to get back to our trailers to sit for 4 hours before we get called again? Should we bash them that they purge the nitrous too long or do too long of a burnout? Let's not turn this into a class by class bashing session and be glad that someone stepped up and are including them in the fun that most of us have had the pleasure of all these years. If you don't like throttle-stop racing then don't watch, some of us enjoy watching it and understand what is going on and the games being played on the top-end. It's getting kinda old that everytime someone brings up something way off subject it turns into throttle-stop racing and how it needs to go away

I've raced at 68 different tracks, and I have never once had to wait for any TS, TD, or any other class (but my own) on the return road that I can recall. If you have issues with individuals or facilities, address those, rather than broad-brushing a category.

never understood why they cant just drive up to the lanes and drive back why is a tow vehicle needed there bracket cars not nitro or pro stock that need to be towed back to the pits but I am happy they are getting a shot at the Nat Championship now Super Street needs to get on board !

Alot of the TS cars are capable of prostock et's but I think the answer to what you're asking doglover is they use them because they're allowed to, I wonder how many of the really fast super stock guys would use them if allowed.

James, they need nitrous to do it. They bracket race like the rest of us. Not exactly on the same level as Pro Stock. Make them drive them.

Very true Ed, I think its just the fact that they allow it and I can't blame them for taking advantage of it. It may be safer for everyone than them guys driving around the pits in one of those things as far back as they sit in the car.

What I already said about them parking 2 & 3 wide on the return roads around here blocking it while waiting on their golf carts to show up. If they drove them back we could get back quicker. Not watching the rest of the classes doesn't mean hating them. Just not interested in them. Don't know who you are, or why you think you know so much about me? Have we met?
